Shout Out From Minnesota! Applying Infrared Lasers to DIY Nightvision > Thermo & IR
Hey guys!
I am in the process of building a Nightvision Scope for my Rilfe! I have messed around W/ using L.E.D.'s to do IR on my Video Cam, but it was only good for shorter distances. Than I started using Reflectors from various flashlights to "beam and focus" to reach greater distances W/ night vision. That worked better, however I only could reach out so far. Than I was introduced into Thermal Vision. I just swapped out the IR lense from my Camera and repalced it with a Negative Lense and BAM, Thermal Vision!
I am trying to apply "night vision" to my rifle. Issue is I don't know whether or not I will be able to see my Cross Airs/Reticles on my scope. I take it placement of Night Vision, before or after scope will judge whether or not I will be able to see my reticles.
Anyways I was thinkin about ditching the scope and heading with some sort of Screen/monitor that would allow me to view IR and/or Thermal vision. This screen would have to act as both a monitor and a lense (if ya know what I mean)
Now, I know what you're saying. What would I use for Cross airs? Well I was thinking about using an Infrared Laser and ONLY I would be able to see the Infrared Laser through my SCreen/monitor.
Cool thing is, I could mount another Cam Atop my monitor and now that laser serves as a range finder also. Most range finders use laser pointers in a triangular configuration to find distance. THere's a mathematical formula for it. I was thinking about doing this and having the distance project on my Screen/monitor as like a digital read.
Problem is, If I were to ditch the scope, I wouldn't have a "Zoom" and not sure how I would go about making one.
Thanks for your time and go easy on me lol!
